Comparing With Structs

Understand the key distinctions between classes and structs in the D programming language. Learn how classes introduce object-oriented principles such as inheritance and polymorphism, behave as reference types, allow null values, and require special handling for comparison. This lesson prepares you to effectively use classes alongside structs in your D programming projects.

We'll cover the following...

- Classes
- Comparing with structs
  - Classes are reference types
  - Class variables may be null
- - Class variables versus class objects
